<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the ratio of meat and bones of broiler fed a diet containing fish meal with different proportions. The design used in this study was a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments and 4 replicates and each replication consisted of 6 chickens. The treatment used was commercial feed BP-11 as control feed (P0), 43% corn + 21% rice bran + 27% CAB Concentrate + 9% fish meal (P1), 43% corn + 23% rice bran + 22% CAB Concentrate + 12% fish meal (P2), dan 43% corn + 25% rice bran + 17% CAB Concentrate + 15% fish meal (P3). The variables measured in this study were the percentage of meat weight, the percentage of bone weight, and the ratio of meat and bones of broiler. The data obtained were analyzed by variance analysis and the treatment that affected the measured variables was further tested using Duncan's Multiple Range Test. The results showed that the average percentage of broiler meat in this study was 67.26% (P0), 68.71% (P1), 69.36% (P2) and 70.23% (P3). The averages of bone percentages were 23.18% (P0), 25.53% (P1), 22.48% (P2) and 22.58% (P3). Meanwhile, the ratio of meat and bones were 2.92% (P0), 2.79% (P1), 3.09% (P2), 3.20% (P3). The results of the analysis of variance showed that the treatment had no effect on the percentage of meat, the percentage of bone and the meat-bone ratio. It was concluded that the addition of fish meal up to 15% into diet had no significant effect on percentages of meat and bone, and the ratio of meat to bone.Keywords: broiler, fish meal, meat, bone, ratio]]>
